On an offshoot, if he is talking about using unshielded cables I doubt it is to do with secure comms or not. Shielding on comms and instrument cables isn't about stopping people listening in, those comms should be encrypted anyway, shielding keeps out the interference from other devices. Unshielded is cheaper. So the result wouldn't be people listening in on your comms but inadvertanly some fisherman could be interefering with your comms circuits by using his CB.

Well, there could be a real risk.
